1 Mongolia 2016 (plus actions from initial briefs)

2 This is the logo we’re using for the time being, but it would be fantastic if one of you could produce an even better design! No more than 4 colours to be used… to keep the cost within reason… based on where we’re going and/or what the adventure is about. The final design will be used on an item of team clothing as well as all the expedition branding The sooner we can design and select a design the sooner we can order clothing and create a team image!
